Meta Launches Muse Wonder AI Models, Challenging Top Rivals

Meta co-founder Mark Zuckerberg says its latest models are a step toward "personal superintelligence."

Meta co-founder Mark Zuckerberg said its latest models are a step toward "personal superintelligence."

Meta has unveiled two new AI models, the Muse Wonder and the Muse Wonder Full, which it calls its most powerful models to date and a step towards "personal super-intelligence".

Meta said on Monday that the models introduce two Meta features called Active Memory and Active Focus. The former carries relevant information between conversations, and the latter helps the agent maintain work on difficult tasks.

Independent evaluation platform Artificial Analysis scored a perfect Wonder on its Intelligence Index at 56 and a standard Wonder at 52, both on maximum reasoning effort.

This puts the Full ahead of the Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra, which each scored 53, but below the Claude Opus 5.5's 58.

CEO Bindu Reddy, who conducts his own model evaluations, disputed the performance claims, writing in X that the Muse Wonder is "nowhere near the level of the Fable or the Astra," and said detailed benchmark results would follow.

The meta's new models are its most expensive to date, with the Wonder standard model at $4 per million input tokens, matching Claude Opus 5.5 but less than GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1, which charge $10 and $50, respectively.
